Wado Ryu, Wado Kai, Wado Kokusai, Wado everything

What we mean by ‘fighting’ might be more problematic; particularly when you come at it from what Andy seems to be describing as fighting.
Look at Wado as a fighting system; examine what the functional weapons are, coupled with the strategies taught and you realise that what is permitted in Shiai is fairly limited.
